Love Without Hope

Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher

Swept off his tall hat to the Squire’s own daughter,

So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly

Singing about her head, as she rode by.

(Robert Graves 1895-1985)

After The Firebird

What happens after the firebird returns the golden apple ?

The dragon-bird-fire-bird leaves behind a feather so that he can be called upon

The feather breaks in half – SNAP

The firebird grows weak and dies

The children must gather up the golden apples and feed them to the firebird
